Webster - Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences
I agree completely with David Kolb, because I too feel that it is essential to meet the needs of every learning style to ensure that every student makes a connection with the material. I think it would be very beneficial to help each tutee determine their learning styles and then go from there. From the information I have learned about learning styles that I don't possess, I think it will be much easier to pick up on a person's learning style. I think it would also be a neat idea to pass on the learning style tests to the professors so they can implement them in their classrooms to form an idea of what ways to incorporate all the styles during class.

I think that in addition to you knowing your own learning style and professors understanding them, other students should understand the learning styles in the classroom. I have a student at school that has to move all of the time. He is a much more kinesthetic learner, but understands that others in the room may not be. He asked at the beginning of class if he could sit at the back of the room so that he wouldn't interrupt the other students. In college classrooms the students don't know each other as they do in high school classes; my students have has classes together for 11 years, in college they are meeting most of their classmates for the first time. Understanding the dynamics of the classroom often makes me much more comfortable for all students as well as the instructor.
